Windows Shadow Copies.csc script preview command Echo stops processing of futher scripts until the therefore opened command line window is manually closed.

Forget about everything at the end. I now see the real problem. I read through #Rules.txt and came to this conclusion that everything at the end is bullshit. I just wondered why running the preview, leaves a command line window open. Couldn't it be change like this:

When preview is run, the preview executes each TaskX=Echo|blabla command with cmd /k and therefore leaves the command line window open so one can read the output, but this interrupts the whole process of running all previews one after another until the command line window is closed. couldn't this be done like Exec with an optional SHOWCLI at the end? So the command could be normally cmd /k command line here but if it's TaskX=Echo|command line here|SHOWCLI, it's executed with cmd /c and the output is redirected and printed in the preview window of clearmgr+? So one get's the command line output, but the process continues?

Old Title: I have a problem with Windows Shadow Copies.csc on Windows 11 and the search lead me to #18.

The current file seems updated and says

[Files]
Task1=Echo|%WinDir%\SysNative\vssadmin list shadows
Task2=Exec|%WinDir%\SysNative\vssadmin delete shadows /all|SHOWCLI

I searched a bit and starting Windows Vista x64 the folder C:\Windows\SysNative was introduced as a link to C:\Windows\System32. System32 contained all 64-bit files, while SysWOW64 contained the 32-bit files and 32-bit programs where redirected there. A bit unreasonable to me, but okay...

In case a 32-bit program wanted access to a 64-bit file, it could use the redirect via C:\Windows\SysNative

But on Windows 11 x64:

It seems like this redirect mechanism doesn't exist anymore in Windows 11. No idea how to handle this for all OS version. other than changing it by hand wont work for me atm.
